IPv4 still available. RIPE NCC continues

distributing it

Each of the 5 RIRs

given a /8

RIPE NCC reaches final /8

IPv4 Run Out Fairly

Gradually reduced allocation / assignment periods

- 12 months (January 2010) - 9 months (July 2010) - 6 months (January 2011) - 3 months (July 2011)

50% has to be used up by half-period

8

Last /8

We do things differently! Ensures IPv4 access for all members

- 16 000 x /22 in a /8 - members can get one /22 (=1024 addresses) - must already hold IPv6 - must qualify for allocation

/16 set aside for unforeseen situations - if unused, will be distributed

No PI so far. May change.

Legacy Space

IPv4 addresses distributed prior to the RIR system Why register?

- Benefits: - legitimize holdership

- update reverse DNS delegation

- use membership services

- no fees! - Risks:

- frozen data in the RIPE Registry

- vulnerable to hijackers

Additional IPv4 allocation requirements

80% must be in use Tidy up current records Request a list of invalid assignments Send an IPv4 Additional Allocation request We will audit you

12

Transfer of IPv4 allocations

Transfer unused allocations to another LIR Minimum allocation size /21 Evaluated by the RIPE NCC

IPv6 Deployment

IPv6 Distribution

15

IPv6 in Saudi Arabia

Only 36% of LIRs have an IPv6 allocation

16

Getting an IPv6 allocation

Requirements: - Be an LIR - Plan to make assignments within two years

Minimum allocation size /32 Announcement as a single prefix recommended

17

Getting IPv6 PI space

Requirements: - Meet the contractual requirements

Minimum assignment size /48

18

IPv6 Allocations and Announcements

Extension of the minimum allocation size

Awaiting decision Initial IPv6 allocation from /32 to /29 Enables small LIRs to deploy 6RD
